When to go back to work.

[SamuelJ52]

So I'm the last couple of weeks I've had a breakthrough depression-wise this is great as I'm feeling more joy in life again but I've also been feeling the anxiety much more keenly and have had some panic attacks. I've been unemployed for most of the past year and attended a semester of a Master's degree which unfortunately did not suit . I'm taking steps and reaching out to local organisations for help, excercising again, eating less, but it's still such a struggle somedays not knowing what to do. How do I know when I'm ready for work again. I think maybe I have to just try it to know. Any advice would be great.

It sounds to me like you've already made your mind up. It may take a while to find something suitable anyway so carry on exercising and doing all the right things in the meantime and hopefully something will pop up that's perfect for you and you can't say no to going for! Don't want to sound negative, but if you don't get the first job you go for don't let it get you down, take everything you can from the experience and keep trying. Good luck

Thanks a lot Robbie. You're right I really am looking forward to it at this point I had a difficult morning today but I turned it around. It gets difficult to remember once anxiety sets in. Thank you for the kind message.
